Is it confirmed that the face sculpt changed? It just looks like different lighting to me.

No i don't think it's confirmed.
Maybe the lightning i don't know, 95% of the HS is the same but as said before the problem is the mouth (like the upper lip wich is too thin) and maybe the eyes.

This comparison with the AGC HS clearly highlights the problems of the GT HS

GT Boss have stated before that the headsculpts are always under continuous adjustment and he's never happy with it.

At pre-order stages for Tifa he did said that he understands that people will not be happy with the headsculpt but in his eyes he thinks it's good enough for now. Whether it will improve for the final product remains to be seen but as we have seen from past releases, it does improve somewhat.

Seen that on FB, apparently the source come from the GT group in a china app called QQ.
@walter88 is it true??

At least with the delay, maybe Noctis can get moveable eyes.

 

[walter88]

well，i expect the overrall quality of tifa need to at least onpar with ac cloud. the recently release dn is not good enough. Im ok with moveable eyes but if the outcome is not good as normal headsculpt ，then I prefer the non- moveable eye version. gt may have the best figure in ff series but doesn't mean they dont need to improve on qc. continuous improvement is important.

I expect the final product will at least look like this.
A proper Tifa，that we waited，deserved，hoping.
since gt new product is not releasing，I hope they put more effort in tifa and noctis.Break the curse！（non of the brand can make a proper female game character curse）.Show us the next level of gametoys after ac cloud！

Can’t wait for Tifa!

Just checking after the recent release of the Death Note figures is the GT Boss considering doing Misa soon? Or is she never going to come out

Thanks!

@walter88

Do you have any idea of when possibly Tifa by GT will release?

 

[haiyonori]

I think

GT Boss have stated before that the headsculpts are always under continuous adjustment and he's never happy with it.

At pre-order stages for Tifa he did said that he understands that people will not be happy with the headsculpt but in his eyes he thinks it's good enough for now. Whether it will improve for the final product remains to be seen but as we have seen from past releases, it does improve somewhat.

Im with him, tbh that headsculpt is still pretty close whenever i think about tifas face(especially on advent children) granted remake made her slimmer.


i mean its still pretty good, the first remake cloud's final product isnt even 100 percent accurate on the face but its still a solid figure and its the best ff7 cloud we ever got.
Will be updated or not,I think im the only one who will "still" be "satisfied" even if the headsculpt remains the same

My Sephiroth hasn't peeled at all, but he is in a case if that makes a difference. Some people experienced the zipper pieces falling off but mine has kept all of those too. I don't really play with him though, he's just been in the display. Also not sure if you're interested in it but Ikea can ship detolfs too, that's how I got mine

Thank you for the reply. Yeah IKEA wanted 300 just for shipping. I called the store that was closest to me after looking at website and they said they couldn't do any better on shipping. I guess I'm gonna make a day out of it when I get a day off and just go drive. I mean I have close to 2k in all of em. So probably be smarter to go get the detolf.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but IKEA has discontinued the DETOLF. The BLÅLIDEN is the next closest alternative, it's a bit more compact, and could probably fit three figures per shelf, whereas the DETOLF could fit four.

good alternative to blaliden is billy + glass cabinet combos

Another option is the new Moducase Mono. They’re shipping out faster than the regular Moducases and while it’s sold out now, they’ve been opening up for new orders every few weeks. They’re Detolf sized with more bells and whistles like dust proofing and dimmable LEDs.

Oh, those look nice. Do they offer international shipping or how does that work?

There seems to be US, EU, AUS & SG sites.

I second Billys. I've never been a fan of how big the space looks to be for those Modu/Storage-like cases. There's too much depth for 1/6 scale figures since they tend to work better with bigger statues and 1/6 vehicles. Comes across looking like a display case that's too big for the figures. Detolf and Billys have always been my go to. Just a shame Ikea got rid of Detolfs.

I gather that's not your photo/collection. Do you know what doors those are? That's always been my primary nitpick about BILLY is the doors have the frame and it obstructs the view, specifically the part that bisects the door. Those doors pictures look much better. I think a few years ago BILLY did have an all-glass door but I don't think it's available anymore.

They have new glass doors that are pretty similar to the old ones they discontinued:

I've also seen people take acrylic sheets and put magnetic tape that runs along the edge so that you can pop it on and off for a clean look.

Thanks, very interesting idea with the acrylic sheets. I'll have to look into that.

I'd previously been looking into the IVAR system, planning on staining it for the look I want, but maybe I could use BILLY in the darker color .... Just when I thought I had it figured out, a new solution presents itself.
